This paper proposes an intelligent context awareness middleware(ICAM) for Ubiquitous Computing Environment. In this paper we have researched about the context awareness middleware. The ICAM model is based on ontology that efficiently manages analyses and learns about various context information and can provide intelligent services that satisfy the human requirements. Therefore, various intelligent services will improve user's life environment. We also describe the current implementation of the ICAM for service adaptation based on fuzzy inference that help applications to adapt their ubiquitous computing environments according to rapidly changing. For this, after defining the requirements specifications of ICAM, we have researched the inferred processes for the higher level of context awareness. The Fuzzy Theory has been used in process of inferences, and showed constructing the model through the service process. Also, the proposed fuzzy inferences has been applied to smart Jacky, and after inferring the fuzzy values according to the change of temperature, showed the adaptability of Smart Jacky according to the change of surroundings like temperature as showing the optimal value of status.

There are some of the studies on sensor middleware. However the standard middleware has not yet been defined. Especially, this paper focuses on the processing an intelligent service of the main functions of middleware. Several applications in the sensor network environment support not only monitoring services, but also sensor-based context-awareness and intelligent services based on sensors. However, the previous studies about USN middleware only mentioned the need for intelligent service and did not discuss the architecture and method for supporting the intelligent service in detail. Therefore this paper designs a USN middleware for providing intelligent services and proposes the method for processing the services. For this purpose, this paper proposes the Sensor-Service ontology to define the concept of services and sensors for USN applications and the relationship between them. The Sensor-Service ontology is used to infer high-level information from low-level information. To apply a variety of environmental context to intelligent services, the paper uses the rule-based reasoning. This paper implements the proposed intelligent service middleware as a prototype and then shows that the middleware can be used for a variety of USN applications through the performance evaluation.

In this paper, an intelligent home network middleware interconnection adapter between devices was designed. Home network middleware interconnection adaptor is present in UPnP, LonWorks, LnCP, HAVi, etc. Various types of middleware and for use of a number of middleware is required to modify an existing system. But this study designed by middleware interconnection adaptor a number of existing middleware systems without modification was designed to allow interlocking. The Performance evaluation of designed interconnection middleware adaptor produced by various companies was used devices, experimental device was implemented. And mobile application was developed by using developed interconnection middleware adaptor. Also the performance was evaluated in a mobile application.

센서네트워크 미들웨어는 에너지 사용에 제약을 가지는 센서네트워크의 요구사항과 다양한 서비스 제공을 위한 응용서비스의 확장성을 고려하여 센서네트워크와 응용서비스가 상호 분리되어 각각의 기능을 수행하도록 설계되어야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Zigbee기반의 센서네트워크를 구성하여 센서들의 에너지 사용을 최소화함으로써 센서네트워크의 효율성을 증대시키고. 응용 서비스의 독립된 수행과 Zone을 통한 응용서비스의 지역적인 제공이 가능한 지능형 센서네트워크 미들웨어를 제안한다. 제안된 센서네트워크 미들웨어에서는 특정 센서로부터 전달된 내용을 Context-aware과정을 통하여 다른 기능을 가진 센서들의 연속적인 센싱을 유도하고, Zone Manager를 통하여 효과적인 서비스의 지역적인 제공 기능을 수행한다.

USN Middleware plays roles of broker between sensors and applications. It collects sensor data, decides the situation and sends the result to the applications. It is not good to decide the situation from one sensor data, because it may error data or reflect small part of all. In this paper, we propose sensor 'group' concept. Group is the primary unit to decide the situation. It consists of several sensors which were installed in the same place and had the same pre-defined condition to act. For example, all fire sensors in the room simultaneously trigger the ring when the same pre-defined temperature is recorded. Then, the all fire sensors are included to the same one sensor group. All operations of the intelligent USN middleware are based on the 'group' unit. We studied the intelligent rules of USN middleware based on the group.

현대 로봇 분야의 개발에 있어 지능형 서비스 로봇은 모듈 기반으로 구성될 수 있다. 여기서 모듈이란 로봇의 특정 태스크들 수행하기 위해 만들어진 자동화 하드웨어 단위를 의미한다. 이러한 모듈 기반의 로봇시스템 내부는 네트워크의 이종성에 따라 다양한 네트워크들을 통해 연결될 수 있기 때문에 다중 모듈간 안정적이고 효율적인 통신을 하기 위해서는 상호운영을 위한 기술이 뒷받침 되어야 한다. 이를 위해 본 논문은 모듈기반의 로봇을 위한 통신용 미들웨어를 제안한다. 제안된 미들웨어는 네트워크 인터페이스 계층과 네트워크 적응 계층으로 나누어진다. 네트워크 인터페이스 계층은 각 이종 인터페이스들을 논리적인 채널로 추상화하는 기능을 갖는다. 반면, 네트워크 적응 계층은 모듈간의 통신을 위한 메시지 형식을 정의하고 주소할당 및 이종 네트워크를 고려한 라우팅 기능들을 갖는다. 결국, 제안된 미들웨어는 두 계층을 통해 상위 로봇 어플리케이션 개발자들에게 네트워크의 투명성을 보장할 수 있으며 모듈 기반의 로봇내에서 모듈간의 안정적이고 효율적인 통신을 지원한다.

With the emergence of ubiquitous computing era, it has become increasingly important for a middleware which takes full advantage of HCI factors to support user-centric services. Many kinds of studies on HCI-friendly middleware for supporting user-centric services have been performed. However, previous studies have problems in supporting HCI factors, which are needed for user-centric services. In this paper, we present an agent-based intelligent middleware, which is called AIM, that provides user-centric services in ubiquitous HCI environments. We describe the middleware requirements for user-centric services by analyzing various HCI-friendly middleware and design AIM middleware which effectively supports various HCI factors such as context information management, pattern inference of user's behavior, and dynamic agent generation, etc. We introduce service scenarios based on the user's modalities in smart spaces. Finally, prototype implementation is illustrated as a manifestation of the benefits of the introduced infrastructure.
